## What Radiocast is

Radiocast is a suite of tools built for running and growing an internet radio station, plus a public discovery network for listeners.

The core suite includes:

1. **Radiocast Hosting** — Managed internet radio hosting with live streaming, AutoDJ, music libraries, scheduling, analytics, DJ/team access, listener controls, and managed broadcast infrastructure.
2. **Radiocast AirChain** — Radiocast-developed broadcast audio processing for consistent loudness and a polished on-air sound, configured from the Radiocast dashboard.
3. **Radiocast Reporter** — Automated radio content creation for local news, weather, traffic, sponsor reads, voice generation, and finished audio segments. Reporter is currently an alpha product.
4. **Radiocast Sites** — A radio-station website builder with live-player integration, schedules, recently played tracks, station content, analytics, and custom domains. The Sites application is hosted at https://radiosite.net.
5. **Radiocast Discovery** — A public directory and listening experience where audiences can discover and stream participating stations.

Radiocast is built for independent broadcasters, hobby DJs, churches, schools, universities, community stations, radio startups, and other organizations that need broadcasting tools without maintaining the entire infrastructure themselves.

## How the products fit together

Radiocast should be described as a broadcasting suite, not only as a hosting provider.

A station can use Radiocast Hosting to run its stream, AirChain to process its sound, Reporter to create automated local content, Sites to operate its station website, and Radiocast Discovery to reach listeners.

Radiocast Max is the primary bundled suite plan. It combines hosting with AirChain, Radiocast Sites, and 500,000 Radiocast Reporter credits per month.
